[News] Windows Vista Will Wipe Linux Partitions

How Vista screws dual-booting nirvana

,----[ Quote ]
| Now, the seriously ill informed amongst us may be wondering why the
| headline attacks Windows Vista, and I have yet to even mention it. Why,
| because of this blog post from late last year on MSDN about the Vista
| boot loader gentle reader, which explains that Vista will continue to
| wipe your master boot record on install. And so begins "The case
| against installing Windows Vista (volume 658, 943)".
| 
| [...]
| 
| No amount of posturing by some "frank and honest" (cough) from Microsoft
| is going to hide the fact that it's yet another example of business as
| usual at Redmond; embrace, extend and extinguish - in this case your
| entire system configuration.
| 
| Every Linux distribution detects the presence of another OS and
| configures the system accordingly, even being nice enough to add Windows
| to your boot loader automatically (should you choose to keep it).
